I can't see what is causing your problem. For what it's worth, it does not appear to be inherent in Cygwin:
$ uname -r 1.3.13(0.62/3/2) $ /usr/bin/ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1 $ touch foo && chmod +s foo && time /usr/bin/ls -l foo -rwSr-Sr-- 1 maharig Power Us 0 Oct 29 18:18 foo real 0m0.390s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.060s I repeated the above commands on another computer that is running Cygwin 1.3.12 -- similar results (slightly faster).
